ABSTRACT:
Three locator assemblies and an article support are attached to a C-shaped frame. Each locator assembly comprises at least two pivoted and one fixed finger-shaped locators for engaging locating surfaces on the article to be positioned, e.g., a funnel portion of a television picture tube. Different size articles can be positioned, with the fixed locators engaing locating surfaces on the largest article and corresponding sets of pivoted locators engaging locating surfaces on smaller size articles. Insertion of the largest article causes all pivoted locators to pivot from an engaging position to a non-interfering standby position. Insertion of the next largest article causes some pivoted locators to pivot while the others engage the locating surfaces. Insertion of the smallest article causes no pivoting of the locators. The article support positions the different size inserted articles such that each locating surface is substantially opposite a corresponding locator.
